Ulugbek’s Observatory is considered one of the finest astronomical centers in the Islamic world. At its peak, it employed 60–70 astronomers. The scientific work conducted here allowed scholars to predict eclipses and accurately calculate celestial movements.

Shahi-i-Zinda (meaning "The Living King") is linked to the legend of Kusam ibn Abbas, the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad. The necropolis is considered an architectural gem of Samarkand, featuring traditional decoration styles such as mosaics, majolica, and terracotta.

In the 15th century, Bibi-Khanum Mosque was one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in the Islamic world. Built after Timur’s campaign in India, it was his most ambitious architectural project in Samarkand.
